The only slow time at the casino was in the middle of the night. Most of the management staff were fair to work for. Benefits were great! Most enjoyable part of the job was actually being happy while you were working.The hardest part of the jog was informing an employee they were doing a task incorrectly as a casino environment changes rapidly.

Great place to work and my management team is Awesome!! We have fun with the customers and get to watch customers win lots of money!! I see many things in this job and the most fun is when Friday and Saturdays come.

Pros

Lunch for us is only $3!! Lunch is paid, Uniforms Provided, Over 21 envirronment

Every day there were smiles on peoples faces and everyone was so nice. It was their "Boyd Style". My typical day was non-stop as I assisted seven directors and the CIO as well as the entire IT department along with the Executive Secretary. I provided excellent support to the entire department. My co-workers were very appreciative of the help I provided them.

I started at 10 pm and I would direct officers to their posts, then verify their location, and begin supervising the floor. I learned how to work well with customers and coworkers. The hardest part of the job was dealing with intoxicated customers. The most enjoyable part of the job was getting to know customers and seeing them have a good time.

On-call status was beneficial in that it allowed me to work different hours and all beverage sections of the casino. Management was always helpful whenever needed. Fellow employees were friendly and helpful as well.

Pros

free lunch, 3 scheduled breaks per shift, use of a purse locker while on duty.

we always had enjoying field trips, my favorite was when we got all the age groups together and did rocall and songs

Team Leader (Former Employee) – San Diego, CA – August 22, 2016

my coworkers were amazing everyone was different in there own way. our supervisor and manger was always interacting with the kids. the hardest part was getting the older kids to listen and follow instructions

Pros

everyone was always on time, activities were never an issue, all coworkers got along

There were scheduling mishaps. I was on call so I had to call everyday between 2pm and 3pm to see if I was working the next day. A couple times I called and had a lady in the office check the schedule and she said I was not working, but then the boss would call me asking why I didn't show up to work. I believe if they switched to an online schedule it would resolve this problem. So they're a little behind on technology there.

The supervisors all wanted you to work differently. It would be small things here and there, but small enough for them to give you a poor review. One supervisor wanted you to fold towels one way, the other would want you to fold towels the other way. One supervisor required you to put the trash in one place, another supervisor told you to put it elsewhere. You REALLY had to learn how to do your job four different ways and pay attention to who your supervisor was for the day or you would get poor reviews over the little thing, which could get you called into the office for "poor job performance" and "Not cleaning to Boyd's standard". There was literally no set standard the supervisors followed.

Another thing I did not like was that you were not given enough time to properly clean a room. We were required to clean 17 rooms a day, in an 8 hour period. We had to take an hour lunch. Take away another half hour (minimum) to clock in and out, get your keys for the day, do your morning room check , and stock your cart after lunch and before leaving. This leaves 6 and a half hours for 17 rooms. This leavesmore... you around 20 minutes a room. No matter HOW dirty it was, vacant or occupied, 20 minutes. That's how long we have to make sure it is clean and safe for the next occupant.

They did not count vacant rooms as being more work than occupied (even though it really is, ask anyone who works there). They did not care if one room was WAY more dirty than the next.

It was an extremely stressful environment. It was physically draining. I came home hurting everywhere from trying to meet their requirements. I was not able to do the 17 rooms, but I had been showing improvement. I went from 8 a day one week, to 10 a day the next, to 12-14 a day the day after that, and even though I was showing improvement, I was tod by my boss that "It isn't about improving, it is about completing the assignment". I was not encouraged in any way.

I enjoyed working at Boyd Gaming. There is ups and downs to every employment that is to be expected. Everyday was a new day and no two days were the same. Advancement was available with a variety of positions within the establishment.

I enjoyed meeting in the security office to get our schedules, and radios, and we all walk out to our areas were assigned to for that day. I learned a lot from just about everyone from multiple departments to me it was like a big work family. It was my first time being a security officer I learned how to write reports, use the radios, learn the 400 codes, basic first aid, AED and CPR training. I learned to dispatch and to use the cameras and i got to learn surveillance. I don't really remember having hard parts I enjoyed it well I guess the standing around when theres other stuff i wish I could be learning thats the only thing I would say that was hard.

Unfriendly, hostile work environment. product was unordered properly so ran out frequently and had to explain to guest. Lots of bickering among coworkers, had to steer clear as best could. Management failed to be reasonable, especially to people with seniority The most difficult part of the job was the blame people would try to place if someone passed away. There were lots and managements mismanagement. Learned that people will cover their own buts regardless of the consequences to others. The most enjoyable part of the job was the few other people that cared.
